An EMG Xb Oversize.
Or any of these marvelous self made exponential horn machines which some colleagues make and show in you tube... There are marvels out there... I remember Hideki Watanabe examples, and there are others... (Not to mention the absolutely perfect horns replicated by our colleague emgcr...). I always had some of these projects in mind (and actual calculations and drawings for several exponential and tractrix horns) but have never put myself on the groove to acquire the materials and try to make one. I hope I'll do that some day.

There will always be phonographs I would love too own, but will never be able too, because of price.
Berliner phonograph,
A victor Talking Machine external horn
Coin Operated Phonographs
Regina Hexaphone
Theses machine are always in the $1,000.00 and up price range. Which puts them out of reach of most collectors like myself. Well, at least I can look at the photos in my antique phonograph books.

The solution to that problem is expensive jewelry, therefore you will have to add such cost when considering taking home one of these stuffed elephant heads - I talk from personal experience.
